With His Girlfriend, Old Joey Is Young Again

With His Girlfriend, Old Joey Is Young Again

I was disappointed as my recording in the dark turned out so faint, while they were so funny, more excited the day before, but then I wasn’t ready. You can’t want them do what you want. They’re no actors. If I enter from behind the glass window, I might disturb their playing together. And you’re not sure whether they would be funnier the next time. 

Shooting, recording them, a bird, a dragonfly, a butterfly in flight is hard. You can never be well prepared before.

Yet am I happy, listen to a bird’s twitter as I’ve captured that precious moment which  will never come back. Joey and his girlfriend are saved now and will live forever, ever young in You Tube.

So I comfort myself.

This is a still picture.

What Is Its Name Waterplant

And as I remember the many  beautiful water-plants, -weeds that now perhaps are extinct, which I can’t show you anymore while many are nearly extinct. There are almost no marshes now. The lakes, sawahs had them and I planted them in my fishpond. New cities, growing cities real estates, malls, factories, ... now take their place.

But this lovely waterplant I never saw before have I captured - sure no Grand Canyon, Niagara falls sceneries  to offer you – but perhaps you never might find, see the like again next time.  Suppose the Java Rhinoceros is extinct yet you could still see them in pictures or a video or on TV.

Here she is, almost unnoticed and two dragonflies in a water paradise.

Grass On The Pavement

There’s no plant, no tree whatever that’s not wonderful. Each branch, any leaf, any flower, any fruit of it, is wonderful, even though without its leaves as a tree in winter. There is no dog, no cat, no bird not lovable, no fish,  no creature, no man, no woman, ...

Dew Drops

Dew Drops

The dew drops were so captivating as thousands of diamonds, of thousands fascinating tiny suns, glittering, shining on small grass patches in the sunlight along a quiet, wide, open, sandy pathway and a rivulet with fish in so clear water, so near beside. That was when I travelled on my bike in Kapuk about 60 years ago.

How fresh, how clean as I washed my hands, cooled, wetted my face with dew after running in the country and delightedly stepped bare foot on it. I remember Chinese families in former times gathered dew from fragrant flowers and treated this water for their special scented tea. 

How I wish I could capture them, so you could see it live in You Tube. But to day you almost don’t see dew anymore in Jakarta, yet am I still happy as I succeeded to capture, though only a few dew drops, not so dazzling in the shade.
